Disney, the grandniece of Walt Disney, is the executive producer of “Jihad Rehab,” a 110-minute long film that was directed by Meg Smaker.
Abigail Disney disavowed an acclaimed documentary about terrorism that she produced after Muslim critics accused its director of promoting harmful stereotypes about Islam.
After learning to speak fluent Arabic, she began making a film about a Saudi facility where captured jihadists undergo a rehabilitation in order to wean themselves off of extremist ideology. Initially, Disney was thrilled with Smaker’s work, calling it “freaking brilliant” in an email to the filmmaker,
Sundance Film Festival disinvited Smaker from screening her documentary “Jihad Rehab” at the prestigious event following criticism from Arab and Muslim journalists.“I may not be in total agreement with every criticism of the film but that does not obviate my responsibility to earnestly own the damage I had a hand in.”Disney’s letter and the decision by Sundance to rescind its invite prompted other film festivals to do the same, according to the Times.
